the table, but as the wing venation of the species has not 

 been described, it is not possible to show how it differs from 

 the two Ceylon species. 



Anaplccta inUchra, sp. n. 



5 . Flavo-testaceous. Autennse fuscous, except the two basal joints, 

 and five joints close to the apex which are fiavo-testaceous ; pronotum 

 with hyaline lateral margins ; tegmina transparent ; wings deeply 

 infuscated, the anterior border of the marginal field, the proximal 

 halves of the radial, ulnar and first axillary veins yellow ; apex of 

 abdomen beneath castaneous, the remainder bright flavous. Tegmina 

 witli eight costal veins, discoidal field with six longitudinal veins, 

 anal vein impressed, axillary veins obsolete. Wings with six costal 

 veins, the radial vein bifurcated, the median vein curved distally up 

 towards the radial vein, the medio-discal field crossed by one proximal 

 transverse venule, first axillary vein tri-ramose, apical area nearly 

 half the total wing-length. Supra-anal lamina produced, trigonal. 



Total length 6 mm. ; length of tegmina 4 '5 mm.

 Museum). 



Anaplecta dahomensis, n. sp. (Plate XVI, fig. 2.) 



^ and $ . Fusco-castaneous. Labrum and clypeus rufous ; 

 apical seven joints of antennae testaceous, the last tipped with 

 fuscous. Prothorax piceous, its lateral margins broadly bordered 

 with semi-opaque white. Tegmina entirely fusco-castaneous, with 

 eight to nine costal veins, the discoidal field traversed by four 

 longitudinal veins which are strongly marked. Wings hyaline, the 

 marginal field and apical area infuscated, the axillary area iridescent 

 fuscous ; six to seven costal veins, the radial vein bifurcated biit 

 the branches soon reunite forming an areolet which is crossed by a 

 transverse venule, the median vein obsolescent proximally where it 

 is joined by a transverse venule to the radial vein, the ulnar vein 

 simple, the first axillary vein tri-ramose, apical area nearly one-half 

 of total wing-length, its basal margin straight. Second and third 

 pairs of legs and cerci testaceous, first pair of legs fuscous, except the 

 distal extremity of the tibise and tarsi. 



Total length 5 mm. ; length of tegmina 4*2 mm. 



Athieme, Dahomey. A long series (Oxford Museum). 



The species differs from A. cineta, Gerst., by the absence 

 of a white border to the tegmina, by the strongly-marked 

 veins of discoidal field of the tegmina, by the different colour 

 of the legs.
